The courses start and end at the Fairgrounds in Meyersdale.

The 2024 race started again at the Somerset County Fairgrounds in Meyersdale, PA with 143 racers starting the race and 131 finishing. Two courses were offered up this year.  A 65 mile Long Course with over 7,000’ of climbing and a 35-mile Short Course. Due to the rain that we had the morning of the race we were unable to use the fairgrounds racetrack to start the race, but we did get to end the race on the track with a velodrome style finish.

The Men’s overall fastest time came down to a sprint finish in front of the grandstands. Jeffery Watts edged out George Ganoung by a half of a second. This was Jeff’s second win in three years.

Haley Wickstrom took the ladies overall fastest time this year for her sixth win in seven years. Talk about dominating a racecourse! Haley and Jeff also took home the Queen of the Mountain and King of the Mountain prizes for being the first in their respective divisions to top PA’s highest point, Mount Davis.
